Communication and Media Studies

The Department of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham University (CMS) is dedicated to a pluralistic examination of human communication in an increasingly networked society. Just as digitalization and other forms of technological innovation yield a media environment that is constantly changing and evolving, sometimes in revolutionary ways, our diverse program keeps current to the most recent developments in theory and practice while staying true to its mission of emphasizing values and ethics.

Our faculty are leaders in the study of film, journalism, media ecology, media history, new media, policy and law, public media, and production. We pride ourselves on offering opportunities for undergraduate students to work directly with faculty members in scholarship and training for future careers in multiple communication and media-focused careers.

The Department of Communication and Media Studies offers opportunities to pursue:

a B.A. in communication with specialties in film, journalism, new media/participatory media, television and radio, and media, culture, and society
